Foam cell formation and further accumulation in the subendothelial space of vascular wall is a hallmark atherosclerotic lesions. Targeting foam lesions can be promising approach to treat prevent atherosclerosis. The cells determined by balanced effects three major interrelated biologic processes, including lipid uptake, cholesterol esterification, efflux. Natural products are source for new lead structures. Multiple natural pharmaceutical agents inhibit thus exhibit antiatherosclerotic capacity suppressing and/or promoting ester hydrolysis This review summarizes recent findings on these processes with demonstrated potential target such processes. Discussed also future directions studying mechanisms development cell-targeted therapeutic strategies.

Heart failure is associated with generalized insulin resistance. Moreover, insulin-resistant states such as type 2 diabetes mellitus and obesity increases the risk of heart even after adjusting for traditional factors. Insulin resistance or alters systemic neurohumoral milieu, leading to changes in metabolism signaling pathways that may contribute myocardial dysfunction.

Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists reduce lipid accumulation in peripheral tissues, attenuating atherosclerosis and hepatic steatosis preclinical studies. We examined whether GLP-1R activation decreases progression high-fat diet-fed male ApoE(-/-) mice after administration of streptozotocin treatment with the long-acting agonist taspoglutide administered once monthly vs. metformin drinking water for 12 wk. Taspoglutide did not plaque area or content aortic arch abdominal aorta, no significant change macrophage was detected metformin. In contrast, triglyceride levels were significantly reduced livers from taspoglutide-treated mice.

Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors represent 2 distinct classes of incretin-based therapies used for the treatment type diabetes mellitus. Activation GLP-1R signaling or inhibition DPP-4 activity produces a broad range overlapping unique cardiovascular actions. Native GLP-1 regulates biology via activation classical GLP-1R, through GLP-1(9-36), cardioactive metabolite generated by DPP-4-mediated cleavage. In contrast, clinically approved are not cleaved to GLP-1(9-36) produce majority their actions GLP-1R. The mechanisms engaged more complex, encompassing increased levels intact GLP-1, reduced changes in numerous peptides.

Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) are incretin hormones that control the secretion of insulin, glucagon, somatostatin to facilitate glucose disposal. The actions terminated via enzymatic cleavage by dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) through renal clearance. GLP-1 GIP promote β-cell proliferation survival in rodents. DPP-4 inhibitors expand mass, reduce α-cell inhibit glucagon preclinical studies; however, whether incretin-based therapies sustain functional mass human diabetic subjects remains unclear. exert their predominantly unique G protein-coupled receptors expressed on β-cells other pancreatic cell types.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major challenge in the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Glucose-lowering agents that reduce risk cardiovascular events would be considered advance, as recently reported with liraglutide and semaglutide, glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists, empagliflozin canagliflozin, SGLT-2 (sodium-glucose cotransporter 2) inhibitors, but not DPP-4 (dipeptidyl peptidase-4) inhibitors. The present review devoted to CV effects new oral glucose-lowering agents. inhibitors (gliptins) showed some positive cardiac vascular preliminary studies, initial data from phase 3 clinical trials suggested reduction events. However, subsequent outcome alogliptin, saxagliptin, sitagliptin noninferiority failed demonstrate any superiority compared placebo patients mellitus high risk. An unexpected higher hospitalization for heart failure was saxagliptin. (gliflozins) promote glucosuria, thus reducing glucose toxicity body weight, enhance natriuresis, lowering blood pressure. Two mainly secondary prevention remarkable results. Empagliflozin EMPA-REG-OUTCOME (EMPAgliflozin OUTCOME Events Type Diabetes Mellitus Patients) reduced events, mortality, all-cause failure. In CANVAS (Canagliflozin Assessment Study), mortality canagliflozin reach statistical significance despite similar underlying protective mechanisms remain unknown both hemodynamic metabolic explanations have been proposed. CVD-REAL studies (Comparative Effectiveness Outcomes New Users Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter-2 Inhibitors; limitation an observational approach) these favorable results may class effect shared by all (including dapagliflozin) extrapolated larger population primary prevention. Ongoing other (linagliptin) (dapagliflozin, ertugliflozin) should provide additional information about pharmacological classes.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is characterized by multiple pathophysiologic abnormalities. With time, glucose-lowering medications are commonly required to reduce and maintain plasma glucose concentrations within the normal range. individuals also at a very high risk for microvascular complications incidence of heart attack stroke increased two- three-fold compared with non-diabetic individuals. Therefore, when selecting normalize levels in T2DM patients, it important that agent not aggravate, ideally even improve, cardiovascular factors (CVRFs) morbidity mortality. In this review, we examine effect oral (metformin, sulfonylureas, meglitinides, thiazolidinediones, DPP4 inhibitors, SGLT2 α-glucosidase inhibitors) injectable (glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists insulin) drugs on established CVRFs long-term studies outcomes.

The incretin hormone glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) has many effects in the body. It is best known for 'incretin effect', facilitating insulin release from pancreas under hyperglycaemic conditions. Building on this, GLP-1 mimetics have been developed as a treatment type 2 diabetes. In course of monitoring patients, it become apparent that range other physiological preclinical trials, substantial body evidence built these neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory effects. also very similar growth-factor-like properties to insulin, which presumably underlying basis studies Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's (PD), stroke neurodegenerative disorders, shown most cross blood-brain barrier show impressive numerous studies. animal models AD, such exendin-4, liraglutide lixisenatide protective CNS by reducing β-amyloid plaques, preventing loss synapses memory impairments, oxidative stress chronic inflammatory response brain.
